Summary:
Five times Jiyeon and Hyunjung talk about important things.
one.
If Hyunjung wants to talk about their marriage anniversary, she'd bring it up, right? They haven't even discussed the celebration that Jiyeon's family planned for—they probably should. Right? It's in a couple of weeks, she hasn't brought it up yet. Her current case is keeping her busy, demanding her time and attention and energy that she had to cancel their arrangement one night.
Jiyeon tells herself not to worry and carries one with her days. The interruption of her period has not slowed them down. If anything, the lack of sex for a week has worked them up. She'd much rather deal with that energy than discuss their marriage. Do they even have to? They've already talked about the future.
Jiyeon vaguely feels like they should talk about it...
Kim Industries' founder is one of Hyunjung's mother's old friends, they have to attend his birthday party. Next to her, Hyunjung is stressed. She's tense and there's a stubbornly lingering furrow on her brow.
It's cute, really, Jiyeon gazes at her and thinks it's cute. It makes her smile even though she shouldn't be thinking it's cute in the first place. It makes her want to touch Hyunjung, to calm her, so she reaches out and holds Hyunjung's elbow.
Hyunjung readily looks at her with full attention. Jiyeon just smiles again and caresses her arm before withdrawing her hand.
Hyunjung perks up and subtly looks confused. Her frown is gone, her cheeks redden. After a moment, she clears her throat and relaxes.
They make it through the hour, then they make it to the couch in the living room.
They don't manage to take all of their clothes off, but that's okay. Hands and mouths get the job done until both of them are panting, completely spent and satisfied. They lie together in the tight space for a moment, it's effortlessly comfortable. Hyunjung sits back and fixes her hair—Jiyeon couldn't help but clutch at it while Hyunjung buried her face between her legs.
Her eyes are becoming droopy.
Jiyeon grins; post-orgasm sleepiness must be striking real hard. But to be fair, they'd had a busy day before attending the event.
"Have you noticed that we've been a little horny lately?" Jiyeon asks after sitting as well. Her scent surrounds Jiyeon, it's thick and pleasant, it coaxes more satisfaction to fill Jiyeon's body.
Jiyeon suddenly recalls Hyunjung asking her if she was comfortable with the fragrance of her perfume and the body products she used. It happened early in their marriage; it hadn't even occurred to Jiyeon that the scents she liked might be something that Hyunjung disliked or hated, and vice versa. Thankfully, their preferences were similar enough.
Wrinkles show on Hyunjung's forehead as she seems to try to focus, and it's adorable that Jiyeon smiles.
Briefly, Jiyeon recalls their conversation at her apartment: what are we to each other now?
"I..." Hyunjung starts, glancing at her. She blushes anew. "I have actually, yes."
"Does it... worry you?" Jiyeon asks carefully.
